DF: In the here and now, clearly 21:9 is a compelling alternative to higher resolution 16:9 displays. If there are a couple of criticisms we have with the 34UM67 over above the FreeSync 'window' (see the sidebar), it's the price: £400 is a lot of money, and the higher resolution 3440x1440 version is hugely expensive. There's also the fact that at 34 inches, pixel density at 2560x1080 isn't quite high enough. But the format does seem to be gaining traction: LG has led the charge but rival display manufacturers are getting in on the act, which should drive prices down and introduce new functionality and features. 3440x1440 curved displays with G-Sync or FreeSync support? They're coming and to put it simply, we want one.
